Chapter 769: Brother-in-law

"Why?" Li Mengjie was even more puzzled.

"It’s simple." Li Jie smiled and said, "Because the man you’ve found is highly approved of by dad, and through our previous interactions, I’ve come to approve of him as well. A man as capable as he gives me peace of mind to have by your side." After saying this, he turned to Leng Xuan and said, "Leng Xuan... no, I should call you brother-in-law now, brother-in-law, from now on, I entrust my sister to your care. You must treat her well and never let me or my father down."

At this, not only was Leng Xuan stunned, but Li Mengjie and Ling Xuejiu were also completely flabbergasted. After being dazed for a moment, Li Mengjie exclaimed, "Big Brother, how can you so casually acknowledge his identity like this?"

Li Jie was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Isn’t he the man you chose? We’ve already expressed our approval, so his identity is naturally settled. Don’t worry, dad and I know you’re still young, and we won’t rush you into marriage. After you graduate from college, we’ll organize a grand wedding for you. That’s what dad said."

Upon hearing this, Li Mengjie immediately became anxious and said, "What marriage? Where are you dragging this to? Who said I was definitely going to marry him?"

Faced with his sister’s vehement reaction, Li Jie didn’t pay it any mind, but instead smiled at Leng Xuan and said, "Girls tend to be shy when discussing this topic; let’s not bother her. Do I not know my own sister? No matter how she appears, deep down, she doesn’t know how delighted she is."

Hearing Li Jie’s words, Li Mengjie almost fainted. It was her own script that had directed this scene, yet how had the outcome become like this, completely out of her control? She threw a pleading look at Ling Xuejiu, hoping her friend would help out.

Ling Xuejiu was trying to stifle her laughter at this point. Li Mengjie had set a trap, but after all the commotion, she had ended up caught in it herself. Seeing Li Mengjie’s pitiful glance, she whispered, "You had it coming!" However, as a good friend, she naturally wouldn’t just stand by, so she spoke up, "Big Brother Li, Xiao Jie is still young, and her understanding of matters of the heart isn’t yet mature. Isn’t it a bit too early to settle her status now? If they spend more time together and find that they aren’t a good match, wouldn’t that be problematic? Don’t you agree?"

Li Jie nodded and said, "That’s correct."

Li Mengjie’s face lit up with joy, and she covertly gave Ling Xuejiu a thumbs up, signaling that her speech was spot on. However, she heard Li Jie continue, "However, I believe Leng Xuan is a good man, and I believe in my sister’s judgment. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough before. Although Xiao Jie took a liking to him, dad and I have decided to betroth Xiao Jie to Leng Xuan. Moreover, the Old Master has also given his consent. Thus, there’s no room for discussion on this matter."

Li Mengjie’s expression changed again, and she retorted, "Dad and grandpa haven’t even met Leng Xuan, nor do they understand his character. Why are they so set on him?"

Li Jie himself seemed puzzled and threw a glance at Leng Xuan before saying, "I don’t know about that either; you’ll have to ask them. When He Bin passed on the information that day, dad was furious and kept insisting on having Leng Xuan shot. However, after he sent someone to check Leng Xuan’s background, his attitude changed completely. I don’t know what he and the old man discussed, but then he instructed me to come here and formally let you know that the Li family has recognized Leng Xuan’s identity."
